Karma is NOT a bad idea, in theory. It's supposed to help you judge the bullshit or lack thereof in someones posts. However, it is not an incorrupt system. Karma Threads, beefs, etc. all detract from this. To help remedy the situation, a good idea would be to eliminate negative feedback. Then, only count positive feedback when 3+ people try to give one person feedback. This would help prevent things like friends giving each other tons of feedback, etc.
